Discovery 15 Beauty & Hair salons - near Gainesville, FL - page 2

Alexis Busch I am a long time client of Melissa’s and HFOS. My two most recent experiences at HFOS I have had the pleasure of working with Gracie. On 12/26 I did a blowout with Gracie for my birthday dinner. She made me feel so pampered and beautiful. Last week, I needed a last minute highlight and I was excited to see Gracie available. She was able to brighten me up while adding dimension. Everything I asked for and more. My hair is so much more lively and much healthier. Not to mention, I LOVE the way she curls my hair. Thank you HFOS and Gracie for a great experience once again :)

Kramer Pena DO NOT go here for IBE hair extensions. I spent almost $800 at the salon for my hair to consistently fall out within a few days of the application. I have had extensions for over 7 years and have never had an experience like this one. I gave the stylist 3 chances to fix my hair, and each time they fell out. After my third visit that I again had to sit there and take time out of my work day so it could be “fixed” they fell out less than 48 hours later. At that point I politely requested a refund, as it was clear they did not know what they were doing. Mel the owner refused due to “policy” which I was never made aware of. Never in my life have I been spoken to as a client, like Mel spoke to me. She was incredibly rude and antagonistic. At no point did the stylist or owner apologize for the issues with my hair. Mel didn’t even reach out to discuss the issues I was having or apologize for the incredibly poor experience. I had to contact the salon directly to get her to call me. Instead, Mel told me that “they don’t offer IBE as a service” even though I texted the salon number directly to confirm they did and was scheduled with the stylist. Instead, Mel told me I was taking money out of the stylists paycheck if she refunded me. Sounds like she should rethink her business practices if you can’t refund a client for shoddy work. I would be absolutely ashamed as an owner if a client was walking around town with her extensions completely falling out. I sent photos to the stylist who previously did my extensions and she told me they were very clearly installed incorrectly. My other stylist also looked up HFOS in the IBE certification data base and no one at the salon is certified in this service. They shouldn’t be offering it. I told this to Mel and she said “no one in the area is certified”, which is also not true. I now have to pay to go to my old stylist to have this completely redone with absolutely no compensation from the salon. The only thing I was offered was to come in again for a FOURTH time to have someone else take a look. I refuse to let a stylist who is not certified in this method touch my hair again. I expect that there is damage to my extensions due to the inappropriate application. My holiday photos are ruined, because my certified stylist cannot get me in before them. I would think incredibly hard before going to this salon and giving the owner who clearly cares nothing about her customers appearance or business.

Emi Melker I cannot begin to express how much I love this salon. The women truly care about you and your beauty needs, going above and beyond to ensure you leave feeling confident and pretty. Sophia, Mel, Natasha, Mojgan, and Alex are all absolute gems. Each one is incredibly skilled in their craft and takes the time to listen to exactly what you want, while offering expert advice and suggestions. Their attention to detail is unmatched.

janice ann Estrada I had an amazing experience with Sue! She took her time and put so much care into my hair, and the results were incredible. My hair feels so soft and healthy—no more dryness! Great customer service.

Stephanie Fabara I went to this place seeking help after cutting my hair myself (huge mistake lol). Joanne was amazing and very patient. She cut and styled my hair beautifully. I have very thick hair, and she layered it perfectly—now it looks gorgeous and feels incredibly soft. I will definitely come back to her in a few months! Highly recommended!!

Anne Nicole I had a great haircut with Joann. She told me her previous experience was working in New York for 30 years and it shows in her skill. I walked in and showed her 3 photos of Park Jihyo from TWICE and she gave me exactly that hair cut. She even asked my specific preferences with the bob style and previewed changes to give me an idea of the look. She was great to talk to and is a great listener. She did a wet cut, no shampoo, and a quick blowout. About 45 minutes. I will be back for my trims and styling. Go treat yourself here!

Amanda Hyder I absolutely love my nails. Amanda at The Beauty Factory gnv does an amazing job every time. Friendly greetings, bright and clean environment and excellent service. Thank you.

Brooke Frechette Raisa was so sweet and welcomed me as a new client with open arms and a smile. She made me feel comfortable with my selection of nail application and walked me through the process of what she was doing along the way. Ive never been so please with my nails and will definitely be returning in the near future!

Lana Berry I cannot recommend enough. I have come twice now to get my eyebrows waxed by Moriah. I have had many experiences in the past where stylists have over waxed. Both times she listened to my needs, took her time and truly achieved a result we both were happy with. I really appreciate her patience, I do not feel rushed at all, and you can tell she truly cares about how you feel when she is complete with you. Best experience by far, will come back tenfold, worth every penny. (i never leave reviews but she deserves it)

Layla The whole crew is above and beyond wonderful. So inviting that you actually feel like you just went to a friends house to get your hair done. Irene has been a constant figure in my hair journey since I was about six years old. Sara just did my hair for the first time and wow! Who knew hair could be manageable?! She is stellar and so easy to get along with. I will definitely be back and actually keeping up with maintenance for once.

Nicki I’ve been going to this salon for 25yrs! Irene did my hair for prom in 2001. This place has amazing staff and they truly are family! I see Christina now for color and cuts, I absolutely love this girl. Best salon in town!

Gabrielle Pogge I love this salon. Its bright, clean, staff are friendly, and I enjoy checking out the local artwork theyve hosted. Sara has been working on my hair for about 4 years and has taken me through MANY varieties of short cuts. I like to change it up frequently but dont always know what want. Sometimes I bring a couple of pictures to give her an idea about what Im looking for and others I just let her run with it! She has a great sense for whats going to look good on me and what fits for my style. Weve also played with some fun colors--I particularly loved the purple she helped me choose. A couple of years ago she helped me decide on and test a style for a wedding and took some detailed pictures to help the on-site stylist re-create it (which worked out fabulously!). She also did a Grinch look for me for a Christmas party one year and it was exactly what I was looking for. In short, Sara is easy to work with, fun to chat with, and delivers results youll love!

Midnight Shade I wouldn’t recommend this salon for regular haircuts and coloring. I got curtain bangs and my hair dyed black and the color literally washed out within the month, and the hair cut looked awful after 2 weeks. The hospitality and atmosphere was great but as for the quality/skills of hair styling/coloring, my expectations weren’t met. I don’t know which type of dye the owner uses but it just seems cheap for the amount I paid and tipped.

Abby Metz Elliot is talented, kind and knowledgeable. They provide excellent hair care services and do a good job making everyone feel welcome. I went here right after a wicked bad hair cut from a supercut and Elliot was reassuring, provided a couple solutions and gave me a cut I love even more than before. Ive been coming for half a year now and bring my entire family!! The studio is comfortable and relaxing and even tho Im super awkward Elliot does a great job making me and my family feel welcome. 10000/10 best place around.

Hallie Martin I felt so welcomed and truly heard for once. I’ve always struggled with where to schedule my next haircut but Elliot did such an amazing job tackling my thick hair and capturing the look I was hoping for. I wholeheartedly recommend.

Jennifer Benchic Great! She cut my hair exactly how I wanted and my sons as well. We both have difficult hair that can easily show blunt cuts but this was not the case here I can’t remember her name but she was at the first chair on the right when you walk in! She knows what she’s doing!

Yin Xie Best haircut + color + style I’ve ever gotten. I am 100% satisfied. LeeAnn was so professional and catered to my tastes. She was super nice and lovely to chat with. Would definitely come again!

L Lew I will give this a negative one star..I went to get my eyebrows done yesterday because my preferred place next door was closed. The facial wax person is not capable at all. She kept asking me what I wanted to be done and how much should she cut. The wax was too cold and she even got some in my HAIR! Ill let the pic speak for themselves. The stylist were ABSOLUTELY rude to my friend who came in there with me. She kept calling "maam" over and over. I could hear her while I was in the back. The stylist NEVER responded to her. My friend had to go to the bathroom. The place was nasty and unkept. My friend noticed the swelling of my eyelid and hour later. ( as you can see in the picks) bottom line: DONT GO HERE. I will be going there tomorrow for my refund and to so them the damage that has been done to my face!

Chunling Yan Danielle is such an experienced and genuine hair stylist! Not only she has magical hands for the hair, most importantly she really listens to her clients needs and discusses plans thoroughly, including short-term and long-term effects of each decision. I really appreciate the professionalism in her, and I highly recommend her!

Nicole Allard I’ve been getting my hair cut and colored by Danielle for over 20 years. She always uses top notch products and never bleaches my hair. I’ve done the Brazilian Blowout a few times which I absolutely love. She even put extensions in. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. I have a difficult head of hair, but she always does a great job. Thank you, Danielle!

L Max I have been going to Danielle for my hair cuts and color for about 32? years, from my 20’s to my 50’s! She has never failed to keep my hair looking it’s best. I get asked all the time where I get my hair done! When my kids were little and I was staying home with them and went somewhere closer (I drive a hour to see Danielle!) to save money. After a short time I decided that I was going back to Danielle, Even though I would have to go longer between appointments! A rare gem that is very talented with color and cutting! She is a super sweet lady and will have you looking your best!

Leilani Heisler Katie Price has been cutting my and my husbands hair for about 4 years. She does really great work at mens womens and kids cuts! Shes great at helping you choose the perfect cut for your hair type and style. We always look forward to catching up with her and getting an overall great hair care experience. :) Also, the location/atmosphere is nice, relaxing and clean. All the other stylists are so kind and personable as well. Come check them out!

Gordon W Great people doing great hair. The staff is friendly, does an amazing job, and the atmosphere is comfortable. Highly recommend

Abby Jacobson Katie is exceptional and fixed a very bad haircut for me. Salon is clean and tidy. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend Katie!

kristen smith Hairport is by far the best hair salon in Gainesville! The owner Jessica is very professional and its always a great experience every time I visit . The salon is always clean and the stylist are friendly and welcoming. I would reccomend Hairport for anyone seeking a professional environment and quality hair or beauty services at competitive and affordable prices.

Crystal Dozier Cherelle is amazing. Love my husbands retwist. However, whoever is working the Barber is disrespectful. I came in the wrong door unknowingly. Instead of telling me at that point that I came in the wrong door, the barber walked me back to Cherelle’s area. On my way back through, he decided that was the time to be mouthy and say “there’s a front door too” while laughing and the entire room laughed. Absolutely not okay. He could have let me know I came in the wrong door. He chose not to, instead making fun of me? Not a way to keep business.

Chanel McDaniel From start to finish my experience was A+ The staff were all very professional and friendly. The owner Jessica did my hair. She was very knowledgeable and detailed on haircare to my specific needs. My hair came out flawless!!!! I will definitely be back!!!

Cayla Jordan Cait is the BEST hair stylist I’ve ever been to! Every time I leave her studio my hair looks and feels amazing! She puts so much effort and care into each individual client and I can not say enough wonderful things about her. I always feel cared for and listened to when working with Cait. She is so talented! Her color matches are spot on and her cuts always look beautiful. I have some wave and a slight curl to my hair and she always takes time to carefully dry my hair to make sure the cut works with my natural pattern and texture. My most recent hair cut has made me feel more like myself than any haircut I’ve had before. She’s wonderful! Go see her! You won’t regret it.

Laleah Atkinson Cait is THE BEST! Extremely talented, versatile and communicative stylist. Easy to talk to and very kind as well. Like the reviews say, both her studio and her work are breath taking. I’ve been a client of hers for years! Expert with a straight razor for mullets/shags/alternative cuts

Will Hasell Cait is literally the best hair stylist I have ever had hands down. They are incredibly caring and skilled with what they do. I felt comfortable and trusting. Cait has a great eye for what hair style and cut suits you best. I came in looking for a pretty significant change and they exceeded all my expectations. My hair is very straight and thin and Cait helped give it texture and shape. One time, right before my appointment I had an emergency and they let me reschedule with no cancellation fee which was very sweet. I highly recommend Cait if youre looking for the best you and your hair can get!!

Jessica Reed Ive been a client of Marvin Hayes since 2006 and Ive never been disappointed and Ive always left his chair feeling like a new woman. The other stylists there do awesome work as well. Its a very welcoming environment and friendly atmosphere.

Taesha Jones Excellent service, I am so happy with my trim and silk press and will definitely be back!

Quisa Hogan Very professional and down to earth. Honestly and passionate with his skill. Truly is multi-skilled with Hairstlyes, hair care, makeup beauty enhancements. I can go on and on.

Maura Pedersen I went to see Masha yesterday (On a Sunday! Who even does that?). She turned my head of long, coarse, wavy/curly, thick, gray hair into the MOST adorable little summer bob. It looks great and feels amazing! Im getting so many compliments at work today. The price was beyond reasonable. She was very careful to make sure we were on the same page, and took her time to ensure that the cut was perfect and lengths were even. All while I got to drink a lovely glass of wine. Five stars!

Jesse W Monica is awesome! Great haircut, great experience. Thanks!

David E. Menet This may be the first professional salon I’ve committed to. Don’t know why waited so long - but so glad I did and to this one. Super folks and great cut every time. Masha is the best.

Millie Bordas Andrea is a hair wizard, hands down. She was great to work with and really knows her craft. I received a color correction with lightening and toning services, going from old red and teal colors to platinum blonde with black color underneath. She was able to do what no stylist I’ve seen has done before and completely transformed my hair.

Brittney Hinkley Andrea is absolutely wonderful! I’ve been going to her for 3 years and she has done no wrong with my hair. I have had platinum, vivid colors, split dyes, money pieces, and different hair cuts and styles. I honestly trust her the most and she has kept my hair healthy through it all.

Danielle Jenne Andrea is amazing my day and I got our hair cut and I got mine styled. We both left there feeling amazing!

Oriana Sheffield Where do I start! I’m very picky about where I go to get my hair done. Very big on energy and she is the sweetest person ever! She had me laughing and she was so knowledgeable about what she was doing I highly recommend I have natural hair I went for my very first silk press and honey u couldn’t even tell that my hair is natural! I booked my next appointment before walking out the door ❤️

Allison K So I have been here several times and Ive always really enjoyed my experience. She has been a vital part in helping me regrow my hair. Her styles also last a long time and she takes her work very seriously making sure you look your best when you leave.

V L Nelson So, I reached out to JJ Classy Touch after my original appointment fell through. Jasmine was prompt and professional. Her website was easy to navigate so I quickly made an appointment for a consultation and the rest is history! Thanks to Jasmine, I was able to make my event with a classy hair style to go with my gown.

Kizzy K Been a client for over a year and have gotten sew-in with closure and silk press services done by Brandi. Love her work, professionalism and warm personality. Her expertise keeps me a return customer. She is not only masterful in her styling but she also takes great care in the health of your hair. She is timely and is a very good communicator. I highly recommend her to anyone who asks. She accepts cash or credit.

tracy carroll The environment and staff at this Salon is very professional and Friendly. I took my daughter to get her very first silk press. She was extremely nervous and scared of the “HEAT.” Brandi was very patient with her throughout the entire process. The end result was beautiful and she absolutely loves it. Definitely would recommend this salon for anyone looking for professionalism and great quality hair services.

Tametria Campbell Brandi was extremely professional and fast. I was in and out. She also listened and adhere to my hair care needs all the while providing vital information regarding how to maintain healthy natural hair. I definitely recommend her for your hair care needs
